1. The Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth!
2. beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper,
3. for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk;
4. greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking.
5. Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers,
